Light out
everybody.
what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of lights out i'm your host josh i'm ian and i'm daniel and we are back with another one today uh a crazy crazy case uh that consists of exorcism murder and uh crazy religious people
Yeah, I would say this borders almost on religious cult, you know.
Yeah, we're definitely in that territory for sure. I mean, this is... Yeah, I was actually very, very surprised at just how brutal this particular murder was and... Just, you know, the downward spiral that happens in this is unlike anything I've ever seen. This case is out of the UK, and I'm surprised it took me so long to even come across it. But absolutely insane what happens in this one. Yeah, forewarning, it's very disturbing, brutal, and graphic. But before we get into this case, I wanted to mention real quick that we have a new Halloween collection coming. of merch out at MalheurMerch.com. Some very cool stuff over there. We have this embroidered crew neck sweatshirt that is absolutely sick. It says spooky and suspicious.
All black, all black embroidery. I think it's going to be an absolute hit. There's also a lot of old favorites on there as well, including our tarot crew neck. We have this also really cool beanie. We're starting to head into beanie season here. It's coming up, I hope. hopefully i mean god it's still like almost 90 degrees here in colorado at this point a little little warm for a beanie at this point but get geared up for the colder weather that is going to come inevitably unless you live in california or florida and then i hope you have a great year then enjoy that uh while we start to uh gear up for what i think will probably be a pretty cold winter We'll see, though. But there's lots of cool stuff on there.

So you can buy all of your merch in one place, one cart, which is amazing.

But let's go ahead and get into the story of Michael Taylor. This guy, I think, as we'll see, has a lot of issues underneath his surface.
Absolutely. That unfortunately, I think he ultimately did not get anywhere near the help that he needed or the right help, I should say.
And I would almost go as far as to say that the fact that he needed help was almost exploited by those who were pretending to offer it to kind of just pull him closer in until he had his final descent into complete madness.
just as the sun was lighting up the sky on a quiet sunday morning october 6 1974 michael taylor was seen stumbling deliriously down his street in ausset naked and coated in thick red liquid his mother-in-law saw him from her window and called the police and when the police arrived they thought the dark red substance covering his bare body was simply a drastic paint spill but michael kept screaming out that it was the blood of satan They rushed this delirious, hysterical man to the hospital and that's when doctors realized something absolutely horrifying had happened. The blood didn't belong to him or the devil. He was drenched in the blood of his own wife. Several officers went inside the home to investigate and saw a scene so barbaric that they became physically ill and even the most senior officers had to race outside to vomit after seeing the gruesome scene that truly belonged in a horror film.
The grisly scene all around prompted the question in their minds, how did this man come to be covered in so much blood? When questioned at the hospital, Michael told detectives that he had undergone a violent and exhausting exorcism the night before. But the exorcism wasn't completed, and they sent him away knowing that he still had three demons left inside.
